Ying'er was stunned for a moment when she saw Yinqi and Jiu Beile, and hurriedly bowed and saluted. Jiu Beile smiled when she saw this, thinking to herself that the fifth sister-in-law was really a little impatient. She probably knew that he was coming, so she specially asked a maid to come.
Come and invite him.
However, Yinqi was not surprised when he saw Ying'er. He just raised his hand to let Ying'er get up, and then asked Ying'er to go back to Xinuang Pavilion first. He and Jiu Beile would arrive later.
When the three of them arrived at Xinuang Pavilion, Wanyue had already ordered people to prepare tea for Yinqi and Jiu Beile. After Jiu Beile said a few polite words to Wanyue, he was ready to go straight to today's topic.
"Fifth sister-in-law, the matter you asked me to investigate earlier has been found out." Jiu Beile sat down unceremoniously and said coldly.
As soon as he said these words, Yinqi turned his attention to Wanyue. Wanyue didn't look back at him. She just raised her eyes to look at Jiu Beile and asked in a deep voice: "Jinu brother, just tell me the result."
"The jade bracelet you mentioned, Fifth Sister, was found in a jewelry shop on the outskirts of the city. The people who inquired below followed the clues and found that the person who sold the jade bracelet to the jewelry shop was an old woman. This is a coincidence. That old woman
Mammy is the servant of Fifth Brother Zhuangzi."
These words made Yinqi a little confused. As soon as Jiu Beile finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask.
"What bracelet? Who is the old nanny?"
Jiu Beile raised his hand, looked at Wanyue and smiled, stood up and handed the jade bracelet to Ying'er, who in turn handed it over to Wanyue, but this matter was Fifth Brother's own business after all, since Jiu Beile helped
After checking the results, it is not convenient to interfere in other matters, so it is better for the fifth brother to answer his questions by himself.
When Wanyue saw that Jiubele didn't reply to Yinqi's words and saw the smile he just gave her, she understood what it meant. She turned her head to Yinqi, picked up the jade bracelet and took a look at it, with a serious look on her face.
's reply.
"I gave Zhang Gege a jade bracelet of good quality before. I heard from people in Zhuangzi that the bracelet disappeared after Zhang Gege died, so I specifically asked my ninth brother to help find the whereabouts of the jade bracelet. Now that I think about it, it should be
It was the nun at Zhuangzi who stole Zhang Gege’s bracelet. As for the person who killed Zhang Gege, she must have been the one who stole the bracelet.”
However, after hearing this, Yinqi had some questions in his mind.
"How are you sure that this bracelet is the one for Zhang Gege?" Yinqi squinted at the jade bracelet. Although the quality looked good, it seemed that he had given it to Yue'er before, but when he went
When I bought it at the gold jewelry store, there seemed to be three bracelets of the same style.
It is not the only thing in the world, which inevitably makes Yinqi confused.
Wanyue saw that this matter aroused Yinqi's curiosity, and now was the best time to resolve Yinqi's misunderstanding about her. Wanyue raised her finger and pointed at the inner ring of the bracelet, and replied calmly: "My lord, look, this is
There are small cracks on the inner ring of the bracelet.”
Yinqi hurriedly lowered his head and took a closer look at the bracelet. He looked twice and found no cracks. He simply picked up the bracelet and took a closer look. Sure enough, he found a very small crack in the inner ring.
"This bracelet was given to me by the prince. Sifeng accidentally dropped the bracelet while playing in my room, causing a small crack. I thought of giving it to Zhang Gege, but she didn't expect it.
But he lost his life because of this bracelet." Seeing that Yinqi had already seen the crack in the inner ring of the bracelet, Wanyue simply continued.
At this moment, Yinqi felt that what Fujin said was reasonable. The servants in Zhuangzi had not been trained by him. Naturally, they could not be compared with the servants in the mansion. One or two slaves who were greedy for money could be justified.
But he was a little confused about who it was, so he immediately put down the bracelet and turned to look at his ninth brother, his face full of suspicion.
"Ninth brother, which old lady sold this bracelet to the jewelry shop?"
I really don’t know which old nanny Jiu Beile is. He just asked his servants to follow him secretly, just in case something happens, and it is also convenient for Fifth Brother’s people to catch that nanny smoothly.
"I really don't know about this. I just asked my subordinates to follow me. If Fifth Brother wants someone to capture her, I will instruct my subordinates to take you there." Jiu Beile said truthfully.
Yinqi waved his hand.
"This matter is not urgent. Since Ninth Brother has already sent people to keep an eye on him, I will just send two guards to look for your people after Ninth Brother has eaten in our house."
Wanyue also echoed: "Yes, Ninth Brother, please help me investigate this matter. Just have dinner in our house."
When Jiu Beile saw that his brother and sister-in-law were "forcibly keeping" him, he didn't need to be polite and nodded in agreement.
He also heard that there was a good new opera troupe in Fifth Brother's house, and he happened to have a good time.
"I heard that there is a good new troupe at Fifth Brother's house?"
When Yinqi heard this, he smiled proudly and raised his finger to point at Jiubele.
"Ninth Brother is really gifted. There are indeed some opera singers here. If Ninth Brother wants to listen, I'll ask Yan Qimin to lead you over. I'll have a few words with your Fifth Sister-in-law first, and I'll come over to you later."
Jiu Beile was naturally happy, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
The next moment, Yinqi shouted to Butler Yan at the door: "Butler Yan, take Jiu Beile to the attic of the west courtyard and ask the opera singers to sing some plays for Jiu Beile."
Butler Yan immediately responded: "Yes, Jiu Beile, you follow me, and I will take you there."
Before Jiu Beile stepped out of Xi Nuan Pavilion's room, Wanyue remembered the previous meeting between Hong Sheng and Zhang Gege. She didn't want something unforeseen to happen, so she simply proposed to Yinqi.
"Your Majesty, now that Hong'an is included, I have five children in the house. Even with the help of the nuns, I still feel a little overwhelmed. Can you let the princesses in the backyard help raise one or two children?
This will give me more energy to manage the backyard. If they can help raise the children, it will also give them something to do."
These words made Yinqi ponder for a while. Except for the Tong Jia family, he had not favored any of the princesses in the backyard. Some of them were sent to him by the Queen Mother's grandmother. For those few
He felt that he was somewhat indebted to women, so Yue'er's suggestion was a good idea.
Giving the princesses in the backyard something to do meant he would be less troubled. However, Yinqi hesitated as to which children to hand over to the princesses in the backyard. Apart from Hongsheng and Junhua, the children in Xinuan Pavilion were not
The other three children born to Yue'er are all her biological children, and the three Yue'ers may not be willing to part with them.
Yinqi thought for a moment and then said bluntly: "Then let's just hand over the two children, Hongsheng and Junhua, to their care."
This was exactly what Wanyue wanted. Although she was happy in her heart, she still had to put on a show, so she replied with some surprise: "I don't know whether Hongsheng and Junhua are happy or not. It still depends on the two children." idea.”
